Performance Monitoring and SQL Server Management

Vista Won't Support MSDE
I must have missed this somewhere. It seems that MSDE won't be supported on Vista, only SQL Server and SQL Server Express. The implications here are pretty substantial, especially given that many people don't even realize they're using MSDE for applications. With its embedded database use, combined with applications that have been around for quite some time, I think the impact of this lack of support could be a big surprise for an awful lot of people.
You can read more about the coming changes here at the Microsoft site.
The good news is that "unsupported" may not necessarily mean your applications will break under Vista. The key though is to make sure you test and plan for this cutover. I can imagine there will be unexpected upgrades from some users anxious to get busy with Vista - that, combined with applications on those and other systems that use MSDE that you may not be aware are using it, could make for some really tense times. Save yourself some weekends and start inventorying and the planning now.
